V-mail letter from Joseph J. Menditto written 1945 Mar. 22

My darling Marge,
"I love you truly darling"
Loving you and constantly missing you more than ever sweetheart darling. Anyhow I wish I could be holding you in my arms and pouring my heart to you in person darling for I'm so bully for you. Gee, darling I get a kick out of the 'requisition slip' you put in your letter of Mar. 10th. It was swell and wish I could fill this order soon. It can't be long now, for the axis powers are getting in their last stand and the allies very soon will come out victorious with the conclusion of the war in sight now.
It will be heaven to be alone with you again in that heaven of our own, queen of my heart. Oh darling how I miss those moments we shared in happiness and every little thing about you. Remember darling how I never wanted to leave you each night we were together and how tough it was for us to say goodnight to each other. Yes honey you're all I live for and without you life is nothing but emptiness. Yes darling I can still feel the thrill of your kisses and living on the beautiful memories of the past with you. Without them I'd be lost for I need you oh so much Marge my darling. Closing with all my love and deepest desires to you. Love and regards to the family. I'm loving you until eternity, Love Joe.
